Extensions beyond a 7th are ALWAYS dominant!!!!!!! Whatever theory you believe. This logic can not be rewritten. I am amazed and astounded by the persons that try. Fm13=Bb7


What a joke! Not all extensions beyond a 7th are dominant!! Here's a great example - Am9, voiced 0, 2, 4, 1, 3 (A, E, B, C, G) is not a dominant chord, it's a minor 9th chord. It does not function as a dominant, nor does it sound like a dominant. It is garbage, as you say, to try to make this a dominant chord. I mean, that would be almost as ridiculous as calling this a Cmaj7(13)/A.
